keras 2.1.0

Keras 2.1.0

on Python PyPI

This is a small release that fixes outstanding bugs that were reported since the previous release.

Areas of improvement

• Bug fixes (in particular, Keras no longer allocates devices at startup time with the TensorFlow backend. This was causing issues with Horovod.)
• Documentation and docstring improvements.
• Better CIFAR10 ResNet example script and improvements to example scripts code style.

API changes

• Add go_backwards to cuDNN RNNs (enables Bidirectional wrapper on cuDNN RNNs).
• Add ability to pass fetches to K.Function() with the TensorFlow backend.
• Add steps_per_epoch and validation_steps arguments in Sequential.fit() (to sync it with Model.fit()).

Breaking changes

None.
